معرفی
Désirée Treichler is a Researcher at the University of Oslo's Section of Physical Geography and Hydrology. Her work focuses on Earth observation, particularly remote sensing of the cryosphere and climate change impacts. She holds a PhD (2017) in Geosciences from the University of Oslo and an MSc (2009) in Geography/Remote Sensing from the University of Zurich.
Her research interests include snow depth measurement techniques, glacier dynamics in High Mountain Asia, and data fusion from remote sensing and climate models. She leads the SNOWDEPTH project (NFR Young Talent) and contributes to initiatives like MASSIVE and PATCHES. She is affiliated with the Software Carpentry@UiO as an instructor and participates in gender equality initiatives within the MN faculty and Geoscience Department.
Her recent publications address global glacier mass changes, snow data assimilation, and governance for Earth system tipping points. She actively collaborates on projects involving ICESat-2 laser altimetry, radar sensors, and deep learning approaches for cryosphere monitoring.
